About the piece

Painted in 1834 by American artist Henry Inman, this romantic portrait depicts Mary Ward Betts with a soft, painterly touch. The subject is elegantly dressed in a white empire-waist gown and a flowing teal shawl, positioned against a moody, atmospheric background featuring a classical stone urn and autumn foliage.
